size maniacs or just twitterable examples ?

maybe both, but I like the idea!Many times I have added something like #tweetcode at the end of a tweet created with the single goal to be small enough for ... well, a tweet!@jedschmidt bought a spanish domain called 140byt.es based over github forks in order to provide all sort of tweets that may solve a specific problem in an efficient way: it kinda work on copy and paste!Kinda ... because rules may not truly work stand alone and snippets are suggested without a "tooltip" example, at least in the main page.

What Can We Do In 140 Bytes ?

tweet a solution for a simple task

provide an idea about how to solve a task

solve a task in a truly efficient way

Yeah, some snippet is absolutely everything we may need to solve a problem.The most simple example is the hex2rgb and rgb2hex, a problem that could be solved easily via bitwise operators and a tiny bit of math.
